The Ministry of Finance has written on Twitter that the Halwa Ceremony is the last phase of the preparation process for the Union Budget of 2023-24. Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will be present in the ceremony organized in the press for printing the budget in North Block.

This time the Halwa ceremony is being held on Republic Day. It has been said in the tweet that like the last two financial years, the budget of 2023-24 will also be given in digital form. Earlier, the printing work of the budget used to start with this ceremony. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the budget in 2021-22 was in digital form. This was the first time after independence, when the budget was not given the form of a paper document and it was not printed. The Finance Minister will present the budget for 2023-24 on February 1. The budget document will be available on the ‘Union Budget Mobile App’ after the completion of the budget speech by the Finance Minister. This app is available on Android and Apple OS platform. Union Minister of State for Finance, Secretary of the Ministry and other senior officials will be present in the ceremony along with the Union Finance Minister.
